Dodson Roadside Cafe & Creamery - Operated by Louisiana Adult & Teen Challenge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I love this place! I only gave it four stars because the name says it's a café and yall don't serve coffee... you should probably change the name.

A hidden treasure! Homemade burgers, pie & ice cream to die for! Love the Crab & Corn Bisque! Just don't get a speeding ticket going there!

This is your stop in the Dodson Area!!!

I had the brisket trash can and my coworker had the Dodson burger. It's was sooo good. She nor I could finish it all.

This place has a very country atmosphere. Which I love lol. The crew is incredible as each member hired is a recovering addict and there stories are posted on each table. The selection is seafood and burgers but very filling. You can eat indoors or outdoors, and I would personally recommend the fried fish and side it's made fresh by order. If you ever coming thru this sleepy little town and come across here, don't hesitate to stop and make some memories.

The staff is always very polite and the food is always made to my liking! The Thursday specials are enough to feed both me and my husband so is such a great meal to pick up after a long week of work and enjoy at home.

Delicious food and ran by a life changing ministry. This place is a MUST!

It’s a great experience to enjoy some great food and hear about how God is moving in these men’s lives! 10/10

Good service fast food and good price

Came here for the first time and had the catfish etouffee special and my bf got the chicken and shrimp trash can..they were both sooooo delicious I highly recommend to stop here and the guys that worked there were so nice.what a great establishment.

Best Philly steak poboy I have ever had. I'm from pa so I know Phillies. Excellent service. Great team effort. Will be back again.

Great food, fast! These fellas do a great job, work well together and are very efficient and friendly. We'll come again!

Hold up…I am so impressed not only with the food but the kind staff. This plate was packed with so much flavor! The grilled fish was cooked perfectly and there was so many large grilled shrimp. The coleslaw was different than I’ve had at other establishments. Compliments on the flavor! So glad the staff recommended the curly fries over the onion rings even though he said that was hard to choose but hand battered fresh is a win for me! Can’t wait to go back!

Food was as good as advertised!! And plenty of it!!

This is some of the friendliest guys I have met. The food was awesome, and I will be returning. The porkchop special was delicious. Lots of food, had to bring half home.

Food was excellent, prices are competitive, portions are large, and service was friendly. I strongly recommend a fried pie. The crust tastes like funnel cake. It was all an excellent experience.

A roadside cafe type of place usually doesn't get high rating from me, but this was a great little place with great people, food was great and plenty of parking.

Good food, nice place great service.

I got a fish plate and it tasted burt it made me sick to my stomach

This little cafe surprised me! The best and friendliest service I've ever experienced! Greeted at the door with a smile and ushered right in. Told about all the specials and they suggested many dishes due to popularity. I was really impressed with this little place.

This old restaurant built all of wood in Dodson Louisiana, offers a wide variety of dishes, I chose the Ribeye Steak, I confess that they surprised me with the dish, on time, well prepared just as I requested, excellent, super divine, very juicy, If you are in this area and are looking for a place to eat, this is the place, they will also serve you very well, it is worth it.

Food is pretty dang good. Something different and tasty.

Food was over priced for what it was. People and atmosphere was fantastic.

It was packed and our party of 8 had to sit at 3 different tables. They were out of alot of items but it was Friday night. The food was delicious. We’ll be back but not with the whole houseful.

I really enjoyed the place. A nice cozy/ friendly atmosphere. Service was terrific !

The food was pretty good! Too many menu items, perhaps if they made a few items REALLY good, instead of a whole lot that are just average! Prices are a bit too high!

Wonderful food and friendly staff. Go when you're really hungry, the catfish filets are huge.

All in all the food was very good. A little pricey. Hamburgers & curly Q's where good, fried fish was good.

Had the three piece catfish meal. Fish was great, fries too salty. Everything felt a little sticky. But it's still inspirational to know that lives are being changed there every day. Keep up the good work guys.

We went after the lunch rush. We were greeted at entry, food came quick and the staff were polite.

Was always good when use to go there I just caught it on bad night cooked steak wrong twice dinally just put it in to go box

Good food, good service and great atmosphere.

Crawfish where so good and spicy and juicy! Also had some shrimp and grits, amazing! So grateful for the ministry and men of Teen Challenge! God bless

Everything here is amazing! The guys are so great and anointed at what they do!

The chicken fried steak was so tender and delicious. White gravy on top and fluffy mashed potatoes with cheese. Wonderful friendly people and great service. We will be going back.

Great food and service with ice cream to boot

When you order an entree you get a choice of two sides with your meal. I ordered the green beans and they were cooked perfectly. However, they added an ingredient which gave them a very "off-putting" taste. According to the manager, everyone else likes them. I recommend asking to taste test them before ordering. If you like them, fantastic, I didn't, nor did the other person who dined with me. Everything other than the green beans was very good.

Unfortunately I have never had a good experience here. I keep trying them because I here such good things. They are friendly, clean and nice.

Very disappointed in the changes this place has made. I won't be back.

Delicious fried catfish and sides with great service. A very authentic "country cafe" with a rather interesting backstory.

Cannot say enough good things!! Best fried blueberry pie EVERRRR!! My fiance had a sunday. Worship playing! Friendly clean atmosphere. We would go weekly if we lived closer.

Food was great! I mean everything!! And glad to support such a wonderful ministry!!

Great good freindly staff highly recommend

Nice little Cafe with amazing service. Had the Mahi street tacos and they were excellent. Love that they are all about helping troubled youth and adults and giving them a fresh start with new Life.

Would love to have hushpuppies with the fish. All of the food and service is excellent!!

Will not be eating here again this tha third time my burger has been half cooked I’m tired of taking it back

It is a great place to go eat. Has a great atmosphere and the people was very sweet.

Food is good but if you go during lunch expect a single plate of fries with meat on top to take upwards of 40 minutes

Good hometown feeling with good hometown food & good hometown people. Took some jam home that was great too. I can't wait until next blue berry festival.

Awesome Awesome place!! Great food and it's run by Teen challenge. (A program to help troubled youth get back on their feet) really wonderful dinning experience

You just need to make that trip. Never had anything there I didn't like or wasn't pleased with. I'm a regular.

Really great service love the place

Amazing food and amazing service.

45 minute wait for burger and burnt fries

ordered a southwest salad with chicken. It was amazing ! Fresh, good size, and a beautiful presentation! The staff was super friendly and smiling - very friendly - they were happy to see you come in the door! Hubby’s burger and fries were delic too!

Delicious food and great service 😊

Amazing food and service combined with a great cause!

Food is superb, service is excellent!

Fantastic food! Fantastic service! Amazing people!

Great crew had a big party so it took a little longer but was well worth the wait thanx for a great party host

Good prices, great food, good people.

Always a great place to eat. Enjoy the food and the service is always great. Don’t forget the ice cream

Not comfortable with price. Will not eat there again

The town might be a speed trap, but this roadside cafe is a culinary catch! The food is a surprising mix of Louisiana and Mexican fares, including catfish, burgers, chicken, and tacos. The indoors are warm and homely, and the staff is kind, attentive, and goes above and beyond. I had a catfish po' boy with onion rings, and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. No-frills, yet tasty and well-portioned. All accompanied with chips and queso, on the house! A great place to eat, or to chill, if you're in the area!

Great food. Very friendly people ☺️

We go their alot and never disappointed has the steaks and they was 10/10 again. Orders got little mixed up but they was quick to fix . Wonderful food and guys getting life back on track real Christian atmosphere . Come in and try promise you won't be disappointed.

wonderful service , great food. last sat was my first time there. i will be back

.My husband and I stopped here today and we were totally forgotten about after we placed our order. As a matter of fact people that came in about 30 minutes AFTER us received their order before us! Very disappointed! I have been here several times and the service has never been this terrible. (They just had to come ask us again what our order was..SMH)

Amazing place very friendly, amazing food recommend the shrimp quesadilla!

Some of the best food you'll find

Christian conversation, Good po-boys and ice cream. Don't really know what else you need.

Food was great with very large portions. Meals, sandwiches and ice cream. Eating here helps support Adult and Teen Challenge to change dependency through Christian counseling.

Gourmet food in a casual, fun atmosphere with some really nice folks. What could be better? All that, AND for a good cause. Beautiful

Good food! Great service! Will be back soon!

Amazing guys. Amazing food. Great little cafe nestled in the woods of Louisiana. 5 star cuisine also. You’d be very surprised the type of food you’ll get in a place like this. The fries and the pork tacos are the best I’ve ever had. I wish I could give 10 stars. Also, it’s all for the glory of God. These men are restoring their lives in Christ and this cafe helps to support them.

Great burgers and PO boys with some of the best fries around. Great guys working there also!

This place is awesome in every aspect. Good down home hospitality makes you feel like you just walked in grandma's kitchen!!!

Awesome food and best service ever!

6 Stars!! Awesome little local flavor diner. The food was fantastic and the service was awesome. We live about and hour away but we will definitely return. What we ordered was delicious, and some of the other stuff that we watched come out of the kitchen looked amazing. I can tell you everything this place serves is made to order fresh.

The food was good and the customer service was great

Great service, amazing people, and the Dodson burger was delicious!!

Great fresh made burger on original sweet herbs bread.

Great food served by Jesus loving men!

Great food but the friendliest staff. Service above and beyond.

The people are always nice and personable. The food was amazing as always. I believe in their cause to help people. God Bless

All I can say is this place is AWESOME!!
